O2 Sensor, Idle Problem

Hi Guys, I am having an issue with my idle...

When I come to the lights, the revs will sit at 1500rpm for about 5 secs or so and then drop down to around 900rpm... It's annoying me!!

I have cleaned the AFM, Re-soldered the internales of the AFM and cleaned the ACC valve. I have also checked vaccume hoses ect and can't find anything.

The only thing that I can now think of is the O2 sensor (I have recently replaced the stock dump with a 3" jobbie).

Where do I get one from? Can I just use a universal one or is it the same as the VL turbo??

Can anyone suggest what else it may be?

Thanks all!

Todd

more info needed. car, motor? i know that you can buy a NGK sensor for about $110 for the rb25det, and the rb20det. i don't know if they are the same plug. i gather that the non turbo would be the same, but not 100% sure on that. but the sensor for the rb25det is the same as a SSS pulsar (sr20 motor).

but my old SSS pulsar does the same thing when you stop though. what is your fuel economy like?

Thanks mate...

R32 GTS-t (RB20det).

Mods:

FMIC

EBC

Dr Drift remap and tune

3" Ex + Dump

Pod

R34 Turbo

Irridum Plugs

Bosch 040 Fuel Pump

I do a bit of highway driving to and from work and generally get 350-400km's to a tank...

I have recently replaced my coils due to missfiring, and as I said have done the AFM and ACC valve.

In my mind this is the next step? Would you agree?

it really comes down to the map that the ecu is running on. you may change the o2 sensor and have it still do it. its a fair bit of money to get rid of it. come to think of it i think my car does it (r33). i will check over the weekend. i know it used to do it, but i haven't taken much notice for a while. i did replace my o2 sensor a while back (trying to get better fuel economy). didn't make a difference to fuel economy. i'm about 90% sure it used to do it, but i'm not sure if it still does.

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.

      I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
